SPRINGFIELD – A construction worker, who apparently hit an electrical conduit while working a jackhammer at Bay Street and Roosevelt Avenue Friday morning, has been taken to Baystate Medical Center.

The victim, who had been working on an overpass, was conscious at the scene. Leger said the victim’s injuries include burns to his hands.

The victim works for S&R General Contractors in Lowell, Leger said.

Western Massachusetts Electric Co. spokeswoman Sandra Ahearn said the accident knocked out power to about 900 customers. As of shortly before 10 a.m., less than 25 customers remained without power, she said.
